Request for Representations to MHRD and UGC regarding Issues Concerning Librarians

[PARDEEP RATTAN]

Dear Colleagues,

The UGC once again has started its nefarious designs to exclude LIBRARIANS from the various provisions in UGC XII Plan Guidelines (2012-2017) like- Grant of study leave for college librarians with pay; Exclusion of Librarians from Faculty Development Programme and from awarding Minor/Major Research Projects when the fact of the matter is these provisions were in olace in UGC XI plan from 2007-2012. 

Friends we must wake up and united we stand for our rights and genuine concerns.I request all Library Associations in India to make representations to MHRD/UGC for granting our rights otherwise it shall play havoc with our careers in the coming years (read pay commissions).

Thanks and hoping for action,

Pardeep Rattan

Gen. Secy,

Punjab College Librarians' Association.

Thanks for responding, Dr. Pachauri. Looking at the seriousness of the issues we should immediately make representations regarding our issues to MHRD/UGC because in the coming days , probably in first/second week of March we will see Code of Conduct in view of Lok Sabha Elections. Moreover this is the ripe time to exploit our political connections to resolve our matters at this crucial juncture.

sir

kinldy forward this demand also.

Subject: Rectification in the UGC norms of API for College Librarian in Appendix III   

                Table VII in  the UGC guidelines dated 30.6.2010.

Sir,

            UGC issued guidelines on 30.6.2010 for the minimum point norms of the APIs for the promotion  of College Teachers, College  Director of Physical Education and College Librarian. Sir , there is a mistake in the above mentioned table in  category III Research and Academic contribution for promotion of College Librarian from stage 1 to stage 2, stage 2 to stage 3 and stage 3 to stage 4 as follows:

IV

Research and Academic Contribution (Category III) – Minimum Annual Score Required – to be assessed cumulatively

5/Year   (40 assessment period)

10/Year   (100 assessment period)

15/ Year   (90 assessment period)

 

Sir, the assessment period for promotion from stage 1 to stage 2 is minimum 4 year instead of 40/assessment period minimum score should have been 20/assessment period @ 5/year (as mentioned in case of corresponding College Teachers and College Director of Physical education). The assessment period for promotion from stage 2 to stage 3 is 5 year instead of 100/assessment period minimum score should have been 50/assessment period @ 10/year (as mentioned in case of corresponding College Teachers and College Director of Physical Education). Similarly the assessment period for promotion from stage 3 to stage 4 is 3 year instead of 90/assessment period minimum score should have been 45/assessment period @ 15/year.

            I hereby request you to forward my representation to UGC and get this printing mistake rectified at the earliest.

Thanking you
